Kudos for Times-Herald Record

The Times-Herald Record is gaining some recognition from the News Gem blog for a story it is doing on a Marine, Sgt. Ryan, from its readership area who is caring a dwindling amount of care at the VA hospital in Albany.

Last week, five Albany VA officials surprised Angela Ryan, Eddie’s mother, with a phone call. They told her they wanted to change Eddie’s care by cutting back on the number of therapy visits he gets each week and perhaps sending him someplace besides his home.
